One of the most critical areas of research and expansion has been exploiting new technologies in supply chain risk management. One example of this is the use of Digital Twins. The performance of physical systems can be analyzed and simulated using digital twins, virtual versions of these systems that use real-time data, and sophisticated algorithms. Inside the supply chain risk management field, digital twins present a one-of-a-kind opportunity to improve an organization's ability to anticipate, address, and react to the possibility of problems within the supply chain.
The objective of this study is to identify and assess the advantages that accrue to supply chain risk management as a result of Digital Twins' adoption into the system, as well as to identify the challenges associated with achieving those benefits. In the context of supply chain risk management, a thorough literature study is conducted to analyze the essential traits and capabilities of digital twins and how these qualities lead to enhanced risk management methods. This study investigates the essential properties and capacities of digital twins. In addition, the state of digital twin technology and its applications in supply chain risk management are evaluated, and prospective areas for further study and development are highlighted.
The primary purpose of this investigation is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the digital twins' role in supply chain risk management through the utilization of digital twins, as well as to highlight the potential benefits and challenges associated with the implementation of digital twins. The research was carried out based on the existing body of written material and the replies of 27 individuals who had previous experience making use of digital twins and took part in an online questionnaire.
The results of this study will be relevant to a diverse group of stakeholders, including specialists in risk management and researchers, amongst others.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a key tool to have a complete understanding of the costs associated with an investment, as it allows to analyze not only the initial acquisition costs, but also the long-term costs related to operation, maintenance, depreciation, and other factors. In the context of the cement industry, TCO is especially important due to the complexity of the production processes and the wide variety of components and machinery involved in the process.
For this reason, a TCO analysis for the cement industry has been conducted in this study, with the objective of showing the different components of the cost of production. This analysis will allow the reader to gain knowledge about these costs, in the industrial model will be to make informed decisions on the adoption of technologies and practices that will allow them to reduce costs in the long run and improve their operational efficiency.
In particular, this study pursues to give visibility to technologies and practices that enable the reduction of carbon emissions in cement production, thus contributing to the sustainability of industry and the protection of the environment. By being at the forefront of sustainability issues, the cement industry can contribute to the achievement of environmentally friendly technologies and enable the development of people and industry.
The Oxyfuel technology has been selected as a carbon capture solution for the cement industry due to its practical application, low costs, and practical adaptation to non-capture processes. The adoption of this technology allows for a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, which is a crucial factor in achieving sustainability in the cement manufacturing process.
Carbon capture storage technologies represent a high investment, although these technologies increase the cost of production, the application of Oxyfuel technology is one of the most economically viable as the cheapest technology per capture according to the comparison. However, this price increase is a technical advantage as the carbon capture efficiency of this technology reaches 90%. This level of efficiency leads to a decrease in taxes for the generation of CO2 emissions, making the cement manufacturing process sustainable.
In each company Top Managers have the responsibility to take major decisions that supports the success of their company, Adopting TQM is one of these decisions, the decision to carry out companies’ operations and procedures within TQM frameworks. (ASQ , n.d.). Applying TQM, involves implementing practices that needs putting extra efforts, otherwise there will be no use of the practices and the execution. (Nicca Jirah F Campos1, 2022).
Specifically in service sector, where the key to success and increased profit, comes directly through a satisfied customer. Therefor there is a need for both management and staff to have big tolerance and willingness to achieve the needed satisfaction, in order to attain the results that every company wants. (Charantimath, 2013)
In Germany in terms of customer care practices there is a famous stereotype ‘Customer is not the king’ A reputation That after DW investigated it, DW expressed it as a phenomenon where both expats and Germans tend to believe that service companies in Germany should do a better job of treating their consumers. (DW, 2016)
New concepts of business have emerged in the late century, for example strategy, leadership, marketing, entrepreneurship and others, these concepts spread internationally among most of the companies around the world. Many studies have been done reviewing these new business structures, some of them addressed the cultural differences within countries upon the applying them. But not many studies concentrated on taking into consideration how cultural differences affects the Implementation of TQM. (Lagrosen, 2002). It was concluded in general that although the comprehensive fundamentals of quality management are applicable and similar worldwide in all nations, but when coming to real practice accurate tunning must be made, it must be taken into account aligning different standards, due to different work cultures and traditions in Europe. (Krueger, 1999)
The research paper provides important findings about the development, difficulties and perception of the support measures for exporters introduced by the Austrian government in times of COVID-19 crisis. Based on a literature review using secondary data, eight qualitative interviews were conducted with experts from the Austrian economy and government, among them the Austrian ECA ‘Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG’. To balance the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Austrian economy, a broad coverage with financing instruments for a wide range of target groups was established. Although the support measures have been well received by companies, insolvencies cannot completely be prevented. Nevertheless, the actual effects are not yet predictable and need to be assessed in further research at a later point in time.
Automation research has become one of the most important tools for future thinking organizations. It includes studying the economic and social aspects to determine how accountants were affected by automating the accounting profession. Moreover, this research studied the social aspect of automation, including the accountants' satisfaction and agreement towards the shift from manual-based accounting to automated accounting. Additionally, the purpose of the research was to comprehend the aspects that affect the variance of the satisfaction and agreement levels before and after automation and whether there is a relationship between those satisfaction and agreement levels and the demographic profile of accountants.
A quantitative method was used to answer the research questions. The findings and results were gathered through an online survey. The respondents in the study represent forty-three accountants who are located and working in Germany. The implications and conclusions of the research were observed from the accountants' perspective.
The research results presented that the automation of accounting significantly impacted the accountants' profession. It indicated that accountants are satisfied with automated accounting and agree with its effects and impacts on their profession. Accountants agreed that automated accounting tasks made the accounting process more effective and valuable. The findings also showed that educational level and length of experience in automated accounting are correlated with the satisfaction of accountants towards automated accounting. It presented that the more experience in automation and higher education accountants have, the more satisfied they are with automated accounting. Due to this phenomenon, higher qualifications and more basic IT knowledge are required in comparison with previous times.

British Government long-term Measures for Exporters in the Manufacturing Sector in Times of COVID-19
(2020)
The authors of this paper have addressed the question of what measures have been taken by the British government to support exporters in the manufacturing sector in the era of COVID-19. A classification of the manufacturing export industry in the British economy as a whole and the impending economic impact of COVID-19 were also examined. It should be noted that the United Kingdom is facing major structural changes as a result of the Corona pandemic and its withdrawal from the European Union, which are examined more in detail in this paper. The UKEF, in cooperation with other institutions, provides a number of finance facilities for exporters already before Corona crisis. The access to get this support has been facilitated for the COVID-19 affected exporters, but no additional measures were made available.
This paper gives an overview of the impact that the corona pandemic has on the export industry in Canada and analyzes the different Canadian government measures for exporters. In addition, the measures are subsequently evaluated in order to identify if the support measures can help Canadian exporters to overcome the crisis. The basis of this paper are semi-structured expert interviews with experts from the financial sector, scientific literature and studies. The results have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has a major impact on Canada’s export economy and it’s GDP. Trade is only possible to a limited extent, as many borders are closed. The Canadian government reacted with an economic response plan to support Canadian individuals and businesses. This paper depicts and assesses the most eligible measures for export companies.
In this work, the authors have dealt with the question of what measures have been taken by the Danish government to support exporters during the time of COVID-19. The analysis first looks at Denmark's general economic situation. In the following, Denmark's governmental and financial measures to support exporters are briefly explained. In addition to the economic and financial effects, the issue of green energy has also become a major focus of political attention in times of crisis. Denmark is a pioneer in the wind energy sector and accounts for a large share of exports. For this reason, the impact and possible future developments for the wind sector in connection with the pandemic are also being investigated.
In dieser Arbeit geht es um das Thema des digitalisierten Scrum Prozesses. Scrum ist eine agile Projektmanagement Methode und ist mittlerweile nicht mehr aus der Softwarebranche wegzudenken.
Die Forschungsfrage, mit der sich dieser wissenschaftlichen Arbeit beschäftigt, lautet:
Wie lässt sich der Scrum Prozess bei der App-Entwicklung mittels einer geeigneten Softwarelösung effizienter durchführen?
Dabei wird zunächst die aktuelle Situation der eyeworkers GmbH in Bezug auf den Einsatz von Softwarelösungen im Projektmanagement beleuchtet und vorhandene Probleme her- ausgearbeitet.
Danach werden mit Hilfe einer Anforderungserhebung und -Analyse alle Anforderungen gesammelt und analysiert, die das Scrum Team und die Geschäftsleitung der Agentur an die gesuchte Softwarelösung stellen.
Im weiteren Schritt wird durch die Filterung eines Generators, der sich mit Scrum Software- lösungen befasst, eine Vorauswahl für weitere Einzelanalyse potenzieller Anwendungen durchgeführt. Diese Auswahl wird weiter verfeinert, sodass am Ende nur noch drei Systeme übrigbleiben, denen eine weitere Analyse unterzogen wird.
Bei den Einzelanalysen werden die drei Softwarelösungen – Jira, GitLab und Hansoft – auf die Erfüllung aller gesammelten Anforderungen geprüft. Dabei erweist sich die Jira Software als das am besten geeignetste Projektmanagement Tool für die Durchführung des Projekts „Die Sitema-App“.
Im vorletzten Schritt wird der Prozess mit der Anwendung GitLab durchlaufen und kritisch evaluiert um der Software dann die Empfehlung, Jira, gegenüberzustellen und herauszuarbeiten, wie der Verlauf mit dieser Software von Statten gegangen wäre. Dies beruht auf Annahmen der Verfasserin.
Zuletzt werden alle Forschungsergebnisse noch einmal zusammengefasst und ein Ausblick in die zukünftige Nutzung agiler Projektmanagement Tools bei der eyeworkers GmbH gegeben.
